Abstract
At a teaching workshop, 45 experienced hypnotherapists were queried regarding their use of tests of hypnotizability; of these, 82% completed the questionnaire. Of those who completed the questionnaire, 30% currently use these tests, and 24% have abandoned their use. Eight percent of the total currently routinely perform a standardized test with their patients. Most respondents considered tests to be clinically inappropriate for a variety of reasons. Implications of these findings are discussed.This publication has 10 references indexed in Scilit:
